mitt romney, unlike john mccain, mitt romney wants to win the presidency, and a lot of conservatives have asked themselves that question the past couple of weeks. i think frankly liberals ought to ask them that question. does barack obama want to be president? he looked like he'd rather have his toenails removed with a dull, rusty blade than on that stage that last night? >> does he wants to support education? he says he won't cut education. that is different from congressman paul ryan's budget, who is the guy that you conservatives champion as the truth teller for your party. the list goes on and on for taxes as well. so the guy you're saying who showed up yesterday, if the scorecard is correct, is as far from a conservative, a re masum you can put on the table. if you were honest, that's not the guy you would vote for, maybe someone in the middle, a moderate republican. but you a staunch conservative would not vote for mitt romney, the one na showed up last night? >> well, one of the things -- your question, of course, answers why i've done what i did the last five years trying to

the romney campaign to their credit has made great advancements from where john mccain was in 2008. but that was a really low bar. so the obama campaign has managed to move >>> disrespecting women, deriding minorities, let's play "hardball." good evening, i'm chris matthews in washington. let me start tonight with this, women of america beware. there's a crowd out there that doesn't believe in you. you go through the terror of rape and they question your word, they say you better have that baby or you're going to jail. check the republican platform that came out of tampa, 14th amendment rights to the fertilized human egg. what about the woman's rights you might ask? personhood for the unborn from conception, what about the woman's right to control her personhood. now a close romney ally in indiana put out word he would criminalize abortion even if the woman was raped. it's headed for the white house, people were scoffed when rick santorum pushed the contraception and now republicans are pushing a measure to let bosses deny coverage for birth control simply by saying they don't belie
